About two or three months before this time, a cloak belonging to Mulligo's brother had been stolen, and, it was supposed, given to one of the sorcerers, who gained thereby some mysterious power over either of the two brothers, which he had exercised on Mulligo, when he caused him to fall and injure his back.
Nearly two months had elapsed since Mulligo had severely injured his spine by a fall from a tree; and immediately after the occurrence of this accident he had completely lost the use of his lower extremities, and had day by day declined until he was now reduced to a perfect skeleton.
Mulligo, for such was the name of the unfortunate man, had severely hurt his spine by a fall from a tree, and having lost the use of his lower limbs, he gradually wasted away, until, in about two months' time, he became a perfect skeleton, and was evidently dying.
The female relatives standing in the relation of mothers to Mulligo, sang: Mam-mul, Mam-mul, My son, my son. Those in the relation of sister, sang: Kar-dang, kar-dang. And the next part was sung indifferently by both of them: Garro. Nad-joo, Meela, Nung-a-broo. Again, I shall Not see in future.
The body of Mulligo was then taken from the females, his mother having, for the last time, fervently kissed its cold lips; and the corpse was lowered into the grave, and placed upon a bed of leaves, which had been laid there directly the fire was extinguished; the face being, according to custom, turned towards the east.
